Kundadri: The Sunrise Point near Agumbe

Kundadri: The Sunrise Point near Agumbe

Kundadri is about 13-14 kilometres away from Agumbe in the direction of Teerthahalli and Shimoga. It is situated at a height of about 900 meters above the sea level.This place also houses the temple of Humcha Jain Mutt whose main attraction is a pond which is percieved to never dry.

For better view of sunrise, one must leave the Agumbe 5.00 AM itself and there is no public transport available from the Agumbe. There are only two auto riksha's available for taking the visitors from Agumbe to Kundadri. But, we should be call them and confirm before night only.

If, visitors came by own vehicle, then no problem. But, visitors should leave the Agumbe at 5.00 am itself to reach Agumbe. Otherwise, one can miss the beauty of sunrise.

We left our guesthouse at 5.15 am and we reached the Kundadri at 6.15 am. When we reached the Kundadri, there is no other humans being. After 6.30 am sun started to rise. But, people came around 7.00 am after the sunrise and they missed the beauty of sunrise.

The vehicle goes through the forest and we seen rabbit which crossing the road in the dark. We don't recognised any other animals which may be standing in road side. Because, every tree looks like "someone standing there".

One can shout that, "For see the rabbit, we should go Agumbe?" Yes, I will agree. We can see the rabbit in the Shivaji Nagar. But, that is not a natural place of rabbit. In shivaji Nagar, it never shows its natural activity. But, in Agumbe forest we saw its natural activity.
